i get the occasional email from them asking for a meter reading,which i provide.then about two weeks ago a meter reader called to the house and physically took the readings.can only assume it's a combination of my email readings being ignored and a new combi-boiler we got installed 18 months ago saving energy usage.still,i'll not dip into it yet in case it's an error,don't think it is though.they've reduced my monthly bill by £28 a month as well.

You made a mistake. That's wasabi, not penis. You think too much about penis

Our union negotiated a 2 year pay deal last year,this year was based on the RPI on a certain date...the company obviously thought it'd be at best 1-1.5%.....it was 5.5%

Can't believe what's happened today. Son is downstairs on the PC when he hears our dog growling at the top of the stairs,he then hears a bang.He picks up a hammer and goes up,opens my daughter's bedroom door to find the scumbag lad from next door on my daughter's bed having climbed through the open window.He lunged at my son who twatted him with the hammer a few times until he started cowering in the corner begging not to be hit anymore,that he was made to do it blah blah.Obviously i can't blame him because adrenalin takes over but he then led him down the stairs and through the front door before calling the police,he should've kept him where he had him. police & c.i.d. & forensics have been out,he's done a runner and there's a warrant out for his arrest.My son is worried about being done for hitting him.what a mess. i'm on to the housing association the scumbag family is with tomorrow,don't see how we can be expected to continue to live next door to them after this.i want them out.The mother came while the police were here and asked my wife "can we talk" needless to say my wife flew at her and had to be restrained

Damn, what kinda neighbourhood do you live in? That's some extremely serious shit. Let's hope justice will be done and the guilty bastard will be punished, instead of your son. Good luck with that.
We had a burglary here 3 weeks ago where he/they had climbed the garageroof, went past the upstairs windows, to drop down in the backyard to try and break open the backdoor, which failed. Luckily, it was the one night I hadn't left my bedroom window open or else he/they might have tried coming through my room while I was asleep.
I sure wish I would have woken up that night though.

Man that sounds nasty Sam! nothing worse than a strange uninvited into your own home, the creepy bugger.
I cannot see them in my eyes doing your son for anything considering he broke in, and it was your daughters bedroom, and the fact the scumbag has fled will help your case vastly!
What sort of age is this lad?
Is it me or do the antics of the lesser people ruin our lives! buggers.

It speaks volumes about our society that your son is the one concerned about being arrested for self-defence.
Rule #1. Protect your family and home.
Everything else is secondary.

Holy shit, thats really scary

IMO the asshole who broke in is in the wrong, not your son.
Hope everything works out Sam.

The house next door is a housing association one.they've lived there around 12 years and are basically deadbeats,the mother is a druggie,one daughter moved out to live with her nan a few years ago because she couldn't stand it,the other daughter is around 8 and the scumbag lad who broke in is around 17,the father was a drunk who died about a year ago.Despite all this they've never actually given us any grief until now.Haven't heard anything from the police today so can only assume they haven't caught him yet, my wife rang the manager of the housing association that owns their property and he is coming out to see us monday.don't see why we should have to worry about leaving the house empty while this scum are next door.we want them out.

There have been simular goals like that these past few years I believe. I know for a fact I've seen a very simular goal a year orso ago. Great stuff ofcourse.
I should have bought NHL11 btw a few weeks ago.

yeah, but that came into an unbelievable situation... no standard game, but semifinal in Wold Championships, and made by a 19 year old kid playing his first tournament in Wold Championships.
And listen to out beyond legendary ice hockey commentator Antero Mertaranta:

Finland won 3-0!!! Final against Sweden on Sunday.
It's kinda fun all the big ones fell... USA, Kanada, Russia... and now it's just Finland and Sweden left.
